    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Tarnished Angels (1957) You have to hand it to Rock when it came to loyalty! He had just finished Giant, and was a super star, when Douglas Sirk asked him not to star in, but to costar with Robert Stack. He had worked with most of the stars in the movie, so he must have felt he owed them...

    Cinematic & TV Chases That Stir The Blood.

    Another one long chase scene, Gumball Rally 1976. Based on the real Cannonball race in 1971, won by Dan Gurney and Brock Yates driving a Ferrari Daytona at speeds of over 180mph on public highways. Those were the days! Still my favorite car scene ever, love the cops comment. :D

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Our grade school principal had a cricket bat. I remember getting dragged into his office for fighting, I was 9 or 10. He opened the bottom desk drawer and showed it to us. Just one look and all the two of us were saying was, yes sir, no sir for what seemed like an eternity. We both left crying...

    Show us your vintage home!

    some really good news! Not sure how I missed it, but the 16 over 1 windows were not discarded, they were reused for the enclosed back porch! To say these are rare windows is an understatement.

    Your favourite commercials

    This is a funny commercial because of a friend of mine! When he was young and dumb, his words, he rode with the Nomads and then the Pagans, people you really did not want to get on the wrong side of! Well you guessed it, he drives a beat up minivan now days. On a serious note, his little van has...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    You are right, the last monumental change for men, was going from pantaloons to trousers, and for women, the end of the hoop dress! On the other hand, I think right up to the 1980s, if you were wearing pajamas in public, a police officer would at the very least ask what hospital you had escaped...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Very sad to hear the reviews of Victoria, since I was looking forward to watching it. I was hopping it would be up to the standards of Wolf Hall! On a bright spot, just read that there is going to be a season two of Wolf Hall! Can't wait.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Curse Of Oak Island. Can't say I really watched it, I recorded it and fast forward through almost all of it. I just wish, they could get it over with! I have a feeling, that the island has been so disturbed over the last few hundred years, that we will never really know why the original...

    Until they replace our old copper line in the alley, my phone and computer were constantly down, most annoying!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Tales From The Royal Wardrobe. Very interesting. When we see a young guy with droopy pants, we should remember, he has a one on the ridiculous meter compared to past fashions! Cod peaces, hooped dresses that were so wide they would not fit through doors. On the other hand, things we like on this...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Fatty And Mabel Adrift. Poor Mable Normand, she is all but forgotten today! As for Fatty, he kind of reminds me of Charlie Sheen! Not just for his off screen party's, but his acting also. Pretty funny, but his supporting cast is even funnier!

    Was there ever a better perfume then high octane Ethyl? I know it is why we are all brain dead, but what a nice smell.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Gene Cernan, on the right wearing his Apollo 17 jacket. He has the distinction of being the last man to set foot on the moon. A record he detested!

    Can anyone tell me more about this jacket? Willis and Geiger A2

    You done good there! I had one in the late 80s early 90s, wish I never sold it! It was the most comfortable of all my leather flight jackets.

    Sour Puss. Outside of OZ The Great And Powerful, I don't think I have heard it in decades!
